I can confirm the behavior mdo is experiencing. Super-L only seems to work for Lock Screen per session after you set it in the Hotkeys configuration. After a restart of the machine you have to reset the hotkey to Super+L again for it to work (and it will only work until you restart again).
I have also experienced the same exact behavior with Super+C, which I had set for Calculator. - Using Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Lock screen however, has remained with Ctrl- Alt-L. Super-L should be added to (not replace) the existing keybinding by default. This would also be familiar for users switching from a well-known OS. --------------------------------------- Desired solution: - Add Super-L keyboard shortcut to lock screen - Leave the existing Ctrl-Alt-L keyboard shortcut in place as an alternative To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/830709/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
